Outstanding....we have stayed here twice both times it was an excellent value and stay. The location is just outside the city wall and Rothenburg is not to be missed. We will be back, again.

My husband and I stayed in this hotel/B&B on our honeymoon, and it was wonderful. Once again we only had a one night stay and we were running behind. We had visited Neuschwanstein earlier that day (and got lost on our way there) and foolishly I hadn't read the fine print about recetion closing at 7 p.m. since at the time I planned the trip I didn't think that would apply to me. I noticed this rul aroun 6 p.m and we were on the road and had no way to get in touch with the hotel. We arrived a little after 7:30 and luckily we were just in time. The owner was still cleaning up and she was very hospitable and did not make a big deal of us showing up late. The room was very cute with a charming view of the old city wall out of the window.The next morning I wasn't feeling well and I slept in, but my husband told me the breakfast was delicious and she was piling food on his plate like a mother would, he was so full when he came upstairs! Everything was very nice for our short stay here!

We recently spent several days during the Christmas market season at Hotel Hornburg in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, our favorite town in Germany. This is probably our seventh time staying at the Hornburg. As always, the fantastic hosts, Martin and Gabrielle Wetzel, offer a warm welcome and a true gemutlichkeit experience. The Hornburg is by far the best value for a small hotel in this wonderful medieval city. Located just outside the city wall with great views of the towers, the hotel is in what was once a private villa. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated and all have private baths. At an average price of 95 euro for a double including a bountiful buffet breakfast and copious amounts of great coffee, it just can't be beat. But what truly sets this hotel apart from the rest is the warm atmosphere created by Martin and Gabriele, their young son Carlo and Ola, a big laid-back brown dog that greets guests with a yawn and a lazy wag of his huge tail. Public areas are comfortable with an honor bar and just off the second level common area is a small room with a computer for free internet access for guests' use. Wifi is also available, I believe. The two adjoining breakfast rooms are comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated year 'round but at Christmas time Gabi pulls out all the stops. And we have often seen Martin serving breakfast and joking and chatting with the guests, easily transitioning back and forth between English to German to French while never missing a beat. If you want a spa atmosphere and pampered luxury then the Hornburg is not for you. But if you want to feel like a guest in a German home then try the Hornburg. You will not be disapponted. Their website is great and offers good photos of all the rooms so it is possible to pick and choose one that is just right for you. Your first trip will not be your last. Guaranteed!

We drove from Prague to Rothenburg and didnt know if we would make it on time, it was winter, so I figured there would be rooms. We knocked on the door of this hotel after reading the reviews here and Martin answered. He welcomed us in like old friends and made us sooo welcome

We had a choice of rooms, and the room we chose was quiet, comfortable and clean. The included breakfast was good too.

This is a wonderful spot, 50 meters outside the city walls of this charming town. Consider yourself lucky if you get to stay here!

Its not a hotel, so dont expect that. It is a comfortable B&B style place. Martin and his wife are not too bothersome, nor are they too scarce. They are gracious and give you the space you need to enjoy your vacation

This was a very memorable part of our trip. Im glad we chose this rather than a cold and impersonal chain hotel.

Please visit Rothenburg, you will love it, we chose to spend an extra night here.
